In Colleen's simulation, the cardboard piece in the center of the shoebox symbolizes the bones that look white in an X-ray. This is because the cardboard blocks the "X-ray radiation" (sand), preventing it from reaching the area below, which results in an outline or shadow that represents the density of bones as they appear white on an X-ray image.
Colleen replicates an X-ray machine by covering an open shoebox with a screen and positioning a square cardboard piece in the center. She uses sand to simulate X-ray radiation, sprinkling it over the screen. Upon removing the screen, she observes an outline of the square cardboard. What does the cardboard symbolize in her simulation?(1 point)
